Discuss doses in mg’s, not volumes as mg/ml is not always the same.
100mg T per week is a typical T dose that works well. That would be 0.5ml of 200mg/ml T cyp or eth.
If you are injecting 1.2ml 200mg/ml that is 240mg and that is insane. You were getting swamped by T–>E2 and higher dose hid some of those problems
- Inject 50mg T twice a week, SC/SQ, not IM, with #29 1/2" 0.5ml insulin syringes, pinch up skin on upper leg, inject into end of fold with needle parallel to underlying muscle layers
- 0.5mg anastrozole at time of injections
- 250iu hCG SC/SQ EOD to preserve testes and fertility
- always do labs halfway between injections to eliminate lab changes driven by lab timing artifacts, labs at time of office visit can be wrong, get lab order and control lab timing yourself
